Originally posted by CosmicWave View PostI hear from business manager at Barclays that if your business address registered there is a home address (where you get your statements) but is not a real business address, you will not get the loan.
Also if you have a business address set to your accountants address (i.e. your registered office address which is usually your accountant's address), then also you will fail to get the loan.
Apparently if they had lent out accidentally when the customer's address violates the above two things, then there is small print that they can take back that loan amount lent anytime.
So, its all hopes lost for me now, since my business address is my Registered office address (i.e. my accountants address), although I have setup a separate correspondence address that is my home address just for receiving my monthly Business current account bank statements.
The thing is we are expected to have a physical real office address for our business with lease named on us directly where we go every day to work (even if we are just one man company!). Otherwise they don't accept that business address, nor will they accept the home address.
They are saying this is what they are expecting customers to fill up in KYC with a leased building (my goodness for a simple software company with 1 or 2 people??? Barclays come on!).Comment

Originally posted by simes View PostCater Allen seem not to be offering such a loan - yet.
Nothing on their site to suggest, and phone lines offering only emergency related calls.
Have sent an email in asking about the future, will report back.

"We are looking into it" (in the run up to availability, 4th May)
followed by:
"We plan to announce more information on the 11th May" (the more info simply states they have submitted an application to HM Gov't and engaged a 3rd party to build an application website/back office tool)
No dosh, no process and no timescales... the idea of going through the process to open an account with A.N Other bank starting to look more attractive.
